The irony is that DEIs prioritising one group over all others is inherently racist, IMO.
Also, it probably creates contempt among the discriminated groups, as the system is unjust towards them. Ie, there's no longer an equal equal opportunity at landing the job, since one side has an unfair advantage.
So, instead of bringing people together, these forced quotas just push people more apart.
I do understand that until 20 years ago black people probably had less chances to land these jobs due being disadvantaged by educational systems, but I think that's kinda behind us since universities also prioritised PoC admissions for a while now.
I'm lucky to not have been affected by this personally, and don't know many who have. So, maybe it's irrational to think they discriminate against other groups (because it's difficult to find people to fill diversity roles in the first place). I don't know. It's a very complicated world we created for ourselves.
